System and method for generating a defect map for a data-storage medium without the use of a hard index |
摘要 |
A defect map for a data-storage medium is generated without the use of a hard index on the medium. The servo sectors normally written to the medium during formatting operations are utilized to identify the angular positions of defective data sectors. The track-location data typically stored in each data sector is used to identify the radial positions of defective sectors. This positional information is processed by a set of computer-executable instructions that generate a graphical representation of the data-storage medium. Symbols are placed on the graphical representation in positions corresponding to the locations on the medium at which defective data sectors are identified.
